More quotes by William Arthur Ward

William Arthur Ward
Learning is more than absorbing facts, it is acquiring understanding.
William Arthur Ward
Greatness is not found in possessions, power, position, or prestige. It is discovered in goodness, humility, service, and character.
William Arthur Ward
Raised voices lower esteem. Hot tempers cool friendships. Loose tongues stretch truth. Swelled heads shrink influence. Sharp words dull respect.
William Arthur Ward
Real optimism has reason to complain but prefers to smile.
William Arthur Ward
Friendship flourishes at the fountain of forgiveness.
William Arthur Ward
Better to master one mountain than a thousand foothills.
William Arthur Ward
The experienced mountain climber is not intimidated by a mountain - he is inspired by it. The persistent winner is not discouraged by a problem--he is challenged by it. Mountains are created to be conquered adversities are designed to be defeated problems are sent to be solved. It is better to master one mountain than a thousand foothills.
William Arthur Ward
Do more than belong: participate. Do more than care: help. Do more than believe: practice. Do more than be fair: be kind. Do more than forgive: forget. Do more than dream: work.
William Arthur Ward
Flying off the handle sometimes causes hammers and humans to lose their heads, as well as their effectiveness.
William Arthur Ward
A friend is one who joyfully sings with you when you are on the mountaintop, and silently walks beside you through the valley.
William Arthur Ward
Giving is more than a responsibility-it is a privilege more than an act of obedience-it is evidence of our faith.
William Arthur Ward
In life, satisfaction is experienced when activities are brought to a state of completion. Loss of energy and loss of control are functions of incompletion. The result of completing things releases one's ability to create. Prioritize any items that need to be completed, set a completion date, then do it.
William Arthur Ward
The more patient we are, the more understanding we become.
William Arthur Ward
In the face of unjust criticism we can become bitter or better upset or understanding hostile or humble furious or forgiving.
William Arthur Ward
Everyone has a common, yet unique, responsibility to the future: to make the most of today.
William Arthur Ward
Before you speak, listen. Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save. Before you die, give.
William Arthur Ward
As the valley gives height to the mountain, so can sorrow give meaning to pleasure as the well is the source of the fountain, deep adversity can be a treasure.
William Arthur Ward
Our greatest challenge-our greatest opportunity-is found in these words: 'Choose ye this day....'.
William Arthur Ward
Failure is delay, but not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead-end street.
William Arthur Ward
